4.3 Main menu DT 0 & DT F Temperature difference function

Descri pt i on:

Solar circuit pump P1 is triggered by the temperature difference function, so long as the temperature difference between collector and tank reaches the switch-on Dr, solar circuit pump is triggered.

For example: the switch-on DT is 8°C, switch-off DT is 4°C, if the temperature in the bottom part of tank is 20°C, then just when collector temperature rises up to 28°C, pump is triggered, and when collector temperature drops to 24°C, pump is ceased.

Note: the switch-on/off DT of 8°C and 4 °c are standard system setting according to many years' experience, only in special application cases it needs to be changed, (e.g far distance heat transferring), normally it is recommend to use default set. Switch-on and switch-off DT are alternating set. To avoid mistake the minimum difference

°

between two temperature differences (ll.Ton -ll.Toff) is set as 2 C.

• Setup the switch-on temperature difference:

Under standby status, access main menu DT 0,

4.4 Main menu - THET timing heating

Descri pt i on:

Electrical heater, gas boiler or oil boiler can be integrated into solar system used as back-up of system, and they can be triggered automatically at preset time by preset temperature. Within a preset time section, when the temperature (T3) of top part of tank drops below the preset switching-on temperature of this function, back-up heating starts to work, when T3 rises up to the preset turning off temperature, back-up heating is stopped. Within 24 hours, three time sections can be set with this controller.

Factory set:

The first time section: back-up heating function starts at 4:00 and ends at 5:00 am. With i n th is ti me sect ion, switch- on te mperature is 40 °C, switc h- off tempe ratu re is 45 °C . The second time section: from 10:00 to 10:00 am, it means there is no back-up heating in this time.

The third time section: back-up heating function starts at 17:00 and ends at 22: 00 pm. With i n th is ti me sect ion, t he switch -on t em peratu re is 50°C, switch- off tem peratu re is 55°C.

The switch-on temperature adjustable range: 10°C - (OFF-2 °C) The switch- off t em peratu re a dj ust able ran ge: (0 N+ 2 °C) - 80°C

If you want to shut off one timing heating, then you can set the turning on time and turning off time same value (for example, the second time section no this function, then you can set turning onloff time is 10:00 - 10: 00)

When time is outside of the preset time section, back-up heating doesn't work automatically even when the tank temperature reaches the switch -on temperature of heating.

Note:

• When there is no sensor installed in the top part of tank (no T3 sensor), controller will take the signal of T2 (sensor in bottom of tank) automatically to control this function.

• The time in this controlled is 24 hours, when you set time section, the switch-off time of heating should be larger than switch-on time. For example: if you set the switch-on time of heating is at 17:00, but switch-off time of heating is 6:00, then this setting doesn't take effect, that means within this time section, heating function doesn't work. The correct set is like flowing: it should be divided into two time sections, one time section is from 17:00 to 23:59, the other time section is from 00:00 to 06:00.
